DRESS DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a genuine Maggie Sottero, beautiful white, one piece, size 6 (AUS) A-line gown with zipper over inner corset (which is incredibly confertable) with button or loop accent. The back of the dress (as per the attached photo) is V shape and the zip is not visible as it is covered with small buttons.

This Soft Shimmer Satin gown is lavishly caught-up at various points in the skirt and features rich beaded embellishments with Swarowski crystals. Alternating diagonal pleats accenting the bodice and fitted hip area create a sensational figure. The pleats cover any areas you want to hide a little, but also create and accentuate curves. I got countless compliments on the dress and I am sure you will too. Please note, I wore my wedding dress with a large hoop underneath (RRP $200.00) which you can purchase for $70.00 should you wish to add it to your order.

The intrigue of this style is enhanced with the optional beaded shoulder strap (not detachable; you will need a dress maker for this) creating a fashionable one-shoulder treatment. The shoulder strap has been altered as per below the below description and one of the attached photographs.

AS IT CAN BE NOTED FROM PY PHOTOGRAPHS I HAVE MADE SOME ALTERATIONS TO THIS WEDDING DRESS AND THEY ARE AS FOLLOWS:

DRESS ALTERATIONS
- The shoulder strap has been altered to be worn across the dress instead on one side. (this can be re-altered and can be either completely taken off, placed back as one shoulder or any other way you find suitable).
- The train was altered to become French style bustle for the reception. The train can be quickly and easily bustled by connecting colored ribbons.
- Additional cups (2) have been added to the bust area. Being size 6 unfortunately I have not been blessed with a large cleavage. Should you not require the added cleavage you can arrange for the cups to be removed.
- The cleavage area has also been modified so that it includes a slight sweet heart (not to prominent just enough to add a further feminine touch to this lavishing dress)

PRESERVATION METHOD
The dress had been dry cleaned, and currently stored in a breathable garment bag in a smoke free/ pet free home.

Retails for: $2,800.00 - $3,200.00 (excluding the hoop and alterations).
Purchased for: $3,100.00 including the hoop.
